Described by P.J. Perry as "the man who probably knows more about jazz than anybody else in Edmonton", Zale was for many years a presence at the Yardbird Suite and other jazz venues. He had an amazing ear, and could often tell what musician was playing a horn or other instrument, almost from the first note. Born in Gary, Indiana, Zale spent his young manhood attending concerts in the Chicago area, where he heard most of the leading players of the day. He moved to Edmonton about 35 years ago, and became an integral part of the jazz community here. He is especially remembered for his encouragement of young musicians and for his own performances - as a jazz whistler - at the Yardbird Suite's Tuesday night jam sessions. At this special Sunday evening concert, some of Edmonton's finest jazz musicians will be gathering to play a program made up of some of Zale's favorite tunes. To use one of Zale's favorite expressions, "It should be deadly."

  • JAZZ EDUCATION in ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN a Thesis Submitted to The
    JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL by LEE CAPLAN A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jazz History and Research written under the direction of Dr. Henry Martin and approved by ___________________________________ ___________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May,2017 ©2017 Lee Caplan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS JAZZ EDUCATION IN ISRAEL By LEE CAPLAN Thesis Director Dr. Henry Martin Jazz Education in Israel is indebted to three key figures – Zvi Keren, Arnie Lawrence, and Mel Keller. This thesis explores how Jazz developed in Israel and the role education played. Jazz Education in Israel discusses the origin of educational programs such as the Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music (1985) and the New School Jazz Program (1986). One question that was imperative to this study was attempting to discover exactly how Jazz became a cultural import and export within Israel. Through interviews included in this thesis, this study uncovers just that. The interviews include figures such as Tal Ronen, Dr. Arnon Palty, Dr. Alona Sagee, and Keren Yair Dagan. As technology gets more advanced and the world gets smaller, Jazz finds itself playing a larger role in humanity as a whole. iii Preface The idea for this thesis came to me when I was traveling abroad during the summer of 2015. I was enjoying sightseeing throughout the streets of Ben Yehuda Jerusalem contemplating topics when all of a sudden I came across a jam session. I went over to listen to the music and was extremely surprised to find musicians from all parts of Europe coming together in a small Jazz venue in Israel playing bebop standards at break-neck speeds.
